With the current credit crunch it isn't as affordable to buy new dresses for every party or occasion you are invited to. Many women have started to look for cheap dresses for parties, here are some top tips to ensure your are getting the best savings.

1. If you are shopping offline you could take advantage of a store card which gives a discount there and then for signing up.

2. If you can live without having to have the latest fashionable trend as soon as it hits the shops then usually you'll see that retailers reduce the price after six to eight weeks to get them sold and out the way for the next trends.

3. Chip in with friends for buy one get one half price sales so that you both pay a cheaper price and you don't have to buy 2 dresses, when you only wanted 1, just to take advantage of the discount.

4. My absolute favourite way off being able to afford a new dress for every occasion is online shopping auctions. I usually only wear outfits once or twice and then I'm onto the next. For that reason I knew online was the best way to find cheap dresses for parties and this would allow me to have lots of new outfits for bargain prices.

I also use auction sites as a way to sell on my dresses to fund my next purchase. And a lot of the time I don't spend any extra money on buying a dress because the money I earn from selling my outfits covers the cost!
